Hi doctor,
I have had black spots in the inner portion of my teeth for the past two years. I consulted a dentist and removed the black stains last year. But now it is spreading again. I brush twice daily and maintain oral hygiene. My cousins also have the same issue, but they are not bothered. But I am losing confidence to smile. Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Sometimes our saliva and breath have too much chromogenic bacteria, which stains the teeth. Follow the below steps;
1. Brush twice daily after food. Make sure you reach all the tooth surfaces while brushing.
2. Use an anti-stain mouthwash daily before sleep.
3. Avoid sodas, tea, and coffee.
4. Avoid smoking
5. Avoid ayurvedic medicines as much as possible.
